Go you funky little SecUnit! Go!
(One of my favorite scenes from the newest Murderbot novel: System Collapse)
#love when secunit gets a little bit feral#system collapse#murderbot#the murderbot diaries#system collapse spoilers#I'm not good at drawing armor pls go easy on me#I just laughed so hard at this scene it's so fucking funny to me#imagine being the B-E secunit already having a terrible day#your clients are scheming and trying to murder each other#and then here comes the weirdest secunit you've ever seen and you need to neutralize it#you very cleverly disable its projectile weapon with a well-aimed shot oh you're so clever#and just like that it's flinging itself at your head like a fucking feral cat at the vet's office#grace makes art

itās kinda stupid to call rui āsassyā or say he was acting āmeanā for simply doing what any person would do realistically after tsukasa humiliated nene in the main story. i swear this fandom has gone over this a thousand times and yet for some reason itās still so hard for people to accept that tsukasa was being a self centered asshole. thatās not even exaggerating anything thatās just the truth.
btw (if im wrong correct me) but rui has never gotten angry at someone unreasonably heās actually quite mature and doesnāt just?? explode over things so i dont know why him refusing to work with tsukasa even after nene forgave him is seen as a āmeanā thingā¦ letās not forget he still believed tsukasa hadnt changed at all and only wanted to be in shows for selfish purposes. itās not bad to admit that tsukasa is egotistical and has acted much more mean in unacceptable ways than rui + has had to own up to this and work hard to grow as a person over time
#rant#??#idk some sort of complaint#pjsktwt is weird.#like very weird.#being on there feels like looking at a hive mind#if you say one thing about a character people will either take all of it as the truth and bash everyone else with a different (and sometime#quite clever and actually interesting) interpretation of the story without even caring to?? Discuss it??#oh or theyāll just bash you instead.#people disagree all the time but on pjsktwt it feels like dealing with a mob#i swear not even that long ago everybody on there collectively agreed that tsukasa WAS in the wrong and we#all understood why rui was mad. hello??#sorry for extra rant.#āwhy is he being so mean to tsukasa even after tsukasa apologized to nene WAAHH!!!!!1!1!ā No.#āget his ass rui!!ā Yeah thats better#people need to criticize their favs objectively every once in a while so that this stuff happens less.#anyways itās not that serious#it is at the same time though.#tenma tsukasa#rui kamishiro#nene kusanagi#wonderlands x showtime#wxs#pjsk#yapping

Canāt stop thinking about modern!Rilla who starts a skincare brand with Una Meredith and they 100% make it to the top.
(Bonus points for Persis Ford marketing them all the way to the moon!)
#yes I will elaborate on this#listenā¦.rilla was out here organising Red Cross meetings at age 14!!!#14 man!!#thatās impressive!!#and yea the books tell her sheās not clever or ambitious but they were also published in 1920ās sooo#she WOULD#and i always headcanoned Una as someone good with numbers i dont know why#she just seemed practical that way#and Rilla always gave off science kid vibes to me#like the way she raised Jims by consulting Morgan on everything and working very methodically?#If it was 2024 sheād be on r/ScienceBasedParenting I mean she practically ripped Ireneās throat out for kissing Jimās#Now envision Rilla using her degree in cosmetic chemistry and Una using her finance and business degree#oh yea thatās the magic#Persis definitely gets in on it and is a marketing genius lmao#aogg#Rilla of ingleside#Rilla Blythe#Una Meredith#Persis Ford#lmm#Lucy maud Montgomery

**oshi no ko spoilers**
the more I look into it, the more I'm convinced that they understood each other very well. Ai knew exactly what words she could use that'd prove effective for Hikaru and let her achieve her desired results. Hikaru is one of the two people who suggests Ai is a normal girl with fantasies forced on her... That backfired in a really tragic way
#oshi no ko#hikaai#hikaru kamiki#ai hoshino#ai is really clever; I'm sure she knew what she was doing#she didn't mind getting hated if she could āhelpā him. that's what I think#oshi no ko spoilers#spoilers#the thing is- I don't think hikaru has it in him to try and hurt Ai#there is no sense of anger in his words; he just accepts everything that's been told#those kinds of emotions don't usually lead to destructive actions. I don't think he ever meant to hurt ai#if he did I'm the one who's going to call him out lol#oh and one more thing#this guy laughs/smiles when he's very distressed. it's a consistent habit he's showing. it's there in 153 and 154 too#this is such a fun piece to examine and analyze in terms of the emotion it displays.. I don't do this a whole lot with other works I read#but I keep seeing stuff regarding onk. the emotions are very delicate with this one#doodle#kamiai

His bullfighting days aren't over quite yet.

#GET IT??? HIS *BULL*FIGHTING DAYS....hahah yeahhhh im so clever.....#suddenly had the urge to draw old man version matador nando bcs DC randomly called him a matador during quali#and im like oh my god....dc....youre so right....#hoping this piece works as some kind of blood sacrifice for his performance in about 7 hrs :)#get it blood sacrifice??? and hes cutting his hand in this piece???#thats supposed to represent two things.#1. hes doing a blood pact/sacrifice so his performance goes well#2. hes testing the sharpness so he can slay the bull!(and the...horse? š¤š¤)#had a very interesting convo w Suzuki abt the implications of matador nando#based on a meme i made š abt how our fantasy is that hes gonna be the bullfighter. hes gonna slay the bull#but the reality will be that he looks upon the bull from a distance#hes meant to kill the bull to overcome it. but he just ends up longing to be the bull. he fails.. hahaha get it....#lmao angst aside i think its kinda funny how i can have this reasoning for the matador au in two eras#thats long the old man has been here. has had two distinct periods of challenging the (red) bull#ANYWAYS!!!! hope ya like!!!!!! i think this is pretty relevant hopefully š¤š¤#quite happy w this one even if it was less of an ordeal than most of my drawings#waaaahahhh hes so handsome!!!!! handsomest guy!!!!!!!#lol scheduling this like an hr before the race cause as i said. its an offering. its a sacrifice. i pray to the racing gods#tw blood#<- just a bit š„° he was originally just gonna be holding the sword but i realized ouch! sharp!!!#f1#formula 1#fernando alonso#catie.art.#fa14#f1 art#f1 fanart#matador au

fitzjamesās stupid little jesus metaphor running evidence:
- crown of thorns situation with the bleeding scalp
- holes appearing like that. whatever you fucking call them those palm things. except its because of colonist rot <3 EDIT. they are called stigmata
-the slorch oozing outta his eyes all the time look like little tears (all those christian paintings)
- āmy body. use itā
- his hair being like that length and color or whatever matching many historical paintings of jesus
- the pieta-ass pose they catch him in when he collapses from scurvy
- probably more once i actually FINISH THE SERIES
- when hes biting his hands. more evidence for stigmata. *hits him with a broom*
#the terror#āboo hoo end of vanityā SHUT UPPPPPP#pomodoriwhines#james fitzjames#āare we brothers francisā pathetic. you are pathetic.#ugh once he pulled out the āmy fatherā lines i was like Oh Youre Phoning It In Now Huh Honey? christ.#i dont actually dislike him i think hes just boring#him and neptune though. cute <3#sorry for my mean tags james fitzjames lovers. hes a lovely little guy i am just cruel and unjust at heart.#EDIT its a very clever metaphor but when i wrote this i was mad abt jfj existinf. sorry

What I love about Warframe as a newcomer is that there doesn't seem to be any sort of shipping wars or fandom discourse at all. I've been into a lot of shooters before (ie. Overwatch, Apex Legends, etc.) so Warframe is a huge breath of fresh, clean air.
šÆ
#yeah thereās no warframe shipping wars that Iām aware of tbh lol I know people heavily ship Stalker and Hunhow but you probably wonāt meet#those two for a bit. not a big emphasis on fan service or shipping for this game tbh#only discourse I know about was rightie incels getting mad about Equinox being nonbinary and the devs made the pronouns she/her to calm#everyone down about the whole thing but that was many years ago#and on the womenās day Facebook post Equinox was noticeably absent from the image they made for it in recent years :)#so that implies equinox is nonbinary and uses she/her pronouns which I think is cool and a clever way to go about giving us nonbiney frame#outside of Xaku of course! but thatās the biggest incident I can think of and I think thereās a polyamory frame too canāt remember which 1#accidentally progressive W giving a nonbinary character she her pronouns ngl#any sort of ādiscourseā Iāve seen usually comes from#comes from queerphobes (idk why it sent I wasnāt done typing) who are acting in bad faith#and comes from bad faith folks who have no reading comprehension about the lore and anti-capitalist messages of the in game story#Iāve seen a lot of self shippers here too; one of my moots self ships with Solaris which is cool#cephalon simaris* is what I meant damn autocorrect#if there are shipping wars and discourse Iām not very aware of it and it never gets big enough to breach containment or make its way to me#I canāt find the specific womenās day image unfortunately anymore but I remember being like oh hell yeah#warframe confession#warframe#mod rose

Thor 1 has so much banger dialogue and visuals that are that way because of the very specific context theyāre in and I love that for them despite all the tilted angle shots šÆāØš
#the movie is actually so so good for analysis for a bunch of narrative reasons which is cool#Iām still smitten by the use of colours alone#the way so much is implied but through proper integration into the setting#itās very evident with the relationship establishment especially and I love that#because it does so much in a small amount of time???#a lot of the movie is slow but the meaning of whatās going on happens pretty concisely#like oh Thor is on Earth thinking heās stuck for the foreseeable future and is becoming less arrogant and more aware of consequences#and how he is able to make mistakes#and ah maybe the way I interact with others should be more considerate to their perspective#and there is knowledge and stories that can and should be learnt and shared#etc.#the COLOURS#I love the use of cool and warm tones so so so so so so much#itās so clever#the entire movie is colour coordinated#forget the camera angles Thorās fall from grace STILL landed him in a golden desert albeit in the middle of the night#while Loki on Asgard had the blue tones EVERYWHERE#like BROOO#the times he had gold it was when he was in the room with Odin/Frigga and trying to āsaveā Asgard by killing Laufey#he went to meet Thor when he was captured by SHIELD and things were WHITE#THEY WERE WHITE

aaa thank you all for your kind asks!! (Oh boy, how many times have I said that already ;P)
I truly feel bad though because some of you have told me about how you never get asks and the SQOTD asks make your day... Empathy is a cruel trait!! Not really... But it makes me feel a little bad that I can't send you simmers asks!..
I thought about making a google form where you could answer about whether you want to keep getting asks or not (or if you care... I'm not sure I would word it...) and what your tumblr is so I can continue sending those people asks, but I fear some might thing I'm choosing favorites... so worrisome...
My blog has grown quite fast in the day or so that it's had a heart and life,,, So! I ask you guys, what should I do? I suppose I don't have to keep sending asks, I just feel a little bad to suddenly stop doing them ... š Is the google form a good idea? Or... do I just stick to posting them? I'm very flexible!! I promise, I just can't send 150+ asks everyday :(
Thank you all again for your support! I saw that post hoping I have a good day and the reblogs on that post are so precious, I am cherishing every moment I have with you all
#You all are very clever and creative!! I'm sure you'll have something to suggest... hopefully#Oh... How I wish tumblr had a queue for asks where you could select multiple people!!.. I can see why it doesn't exist though#it could turn out to be bothersome for people who receive many many asks...#Squat's TXT.Files

happy 1 year anniversary to the election results that were so fucked they had me trying to take my mind off of things by watching what seemed like a toxic chinese queerbait show only to find something far more thoughtful and genuinely queer and interesting than expected and end up watching a bunch more unrelated things that are talked about in vaguely the same realms of the internet and then watch bad buddy twice in a row and fall into an endless bingewatch of thai media (some of which is mediocre, some of which is bad, much of which is simply pretty good, and some of which is genuinely incredible) and go, well, it would be a waste of all this language input i'm accidentally giving myself right now if i didn't at least learn a few words. thus accidentally locking myself into watching even more thai media because now i gain serotonin from hearing a sentence i know i could write
#this is about the dutch general elections of 2023. i know another election is probably still on most people's minds#it feels WILD that it's only been a year. and at the same time. the government they eventually formed based on those votes#is still hanging in there. and it feels like THAT's been going on for way longer than a year#*#ah well in happier news! i think it's the way part of me is forever roaming the internet in 2011#but even when a BL (or GL! which is finally picking up!) series is bad. or just boring.#there is something in me that can't help but go !! oh my god? there's a hundred of these out there??#and we can argue definitions and representation and fetishization. but there are So Many queer people working on them these days#and not all but many of these stories are insightful and kind and clever and have a very queer beating heart inside of them#(and there's also something to be said for queer trash tv. that has a place! but i won't get into it)#and this is really truly only a thing of the past few years!!! this did not exist when i was a teen!!!#i'm still so young but i'm EASILY old enough to remember that. and now All Of That is just out there. often on youtube for free#if you are a teen TODAY you don't need to pick between settling for watching tara die on btvs. watching ianto die on torchwood#or watching queer as folk. which is not a knock on qaf but it's not necessarily tv for teens#instead there's like. dozens of queer people on modern western tv! there are ever more queer movies where nobody dies!#and there's just a goddamn fucking impossible-to-watch-in-one-lifetime amount of guaranteed happy end BL series out there#and it's insane!!! that is insane to me!!!#and is also maybe a good thing to remember in current times. things can and do change for the better#sometimes in ways you might not expect. sometimes you might not even know it's happening. but it does

So there is this episode of The Bright Sessions that references Hello from the Hallowoods. A person dr. Bright is speaking to is trying to scare her so it mimics the narratorās voice from HFTH. There is also this bit where the listeners are referred to as dreamers by said person as if they are trying to convince us that The Bright Sessions is a part of another dream, like another chamber for people who cannot handle nightmares, maybe?
#i dreamt this and now i am very disappointed to find it doesnāt actually exist#i swear it was so much better than i explained it here#it gave me chills#and i was HYPED#i was like OMG THIS IS SO CLEVER#WHAT#someone make it pls#anyway#i hope there is 1 person who listens to both who will understand me#probably not#oh well#maybe if i go back to sleepā¦.#the bright sessions#the bright sessions podcast#hfth#hello from the hallowoods#podcast#dreams#dream#dream journal#hfthw#tbs

This is a mixture of shower thoughts fic and lying in bed after taking a sleep aid fic, so is it good? who knows. but apparently ao3 is down so enjoy! lol
Warning: not proofread at all.
the band has been working diligently to make a name for themselves and while they have a decent following, theyāve all had to take day jobs
on one of the days they are all working, julie almost misses a call form a record label that recently saw them perform and would like to sign them on
she says she is excited by their offer but would need to speak to the rest of the band first, to which they are understanding and even offer to email a pdf of the first draft of the contract to them to review and they can set up a time to meet if things look satisfactory
she rattles off the band email before ending the call and texts the band group chat before heading back to work after her break
āa label wants to sign us! contract in band email. canāt wait to go over it with you guys! <3 <3ā³
she feels her phone buzz with an incoming response as sheās walking back to the front of the store she works at and quickly checks it.
L- yes! rock n roll hall of fame, here we come!
as she is reading that, another texts arrives and she laughs at Lukeās impatience
L- emails not there yet :(
back at the front, the afternoon rush hits and julie doesnāt have time to check her phone, but sheās felt it go off several times in her work apron and, while sheās never hated the customer service industry, she absolutely cannot keep a giant smile off her face the whole rest of her shift
so sheās a bit blindsided when she finally gets to check her phone again as she grabs her things from her work locker and the first message she sees is
L- Iām not signing this.
it must be a real bad deal then. her heart sinks as she continues reading
A- ?
R- oooo bad money deal?
L- money is fine.
L- not a good fit for the band
A- how do you mean?
luke didnāt respond and the next message comes 20 minutes later
A- F that. iām not signing either
R- guys. what is going on?
R- oh
R- okay, yeah no
by now Julieās anxiety is starting to climb because how could it not be a good fit? this label is known for signing bands in the pop-punk genre. What on earth would make the guys turn this opportunity down? an opportunity they have worked blood, sweat, tears and years to get. How could they dismiss it so easily?
she needs some time to think (but does she really? itās the anxiety talking) so instead of responding, she pulls her bag strap over her shoulder and begins walking towards the exit, tying her hair up in a real messy bun to keep herself from picking at her fingernails
The clouds in the sky are pinkish purple against the darkening sky as the sun is low enough to be blocked by the surrounding buildings. heat still emits off the parking lot pavement, alluding to the Hot summer days thar have fallen upon the city.
Julie takes a deep breath before heading to the employee parking
Luke is leaning against the back of her car
"Luke? What are you doing here? Is everyone okay?!"
"Yea, Boss. Everyone's fine," he reassures her before pulling her into a hug. "I just wanted to see that million dollar smile."
Julie can't help but smile
She holds him tighter as her thoughts quickly jump back to the contract. She questions him about the group chat. How could they possibly all be saying no?
His arms tense around her, before letting her pull back to look at his face. He reveals that the contract actually starts off pretty decent. The label just had one stipulation that was a deal-breaker.
What? What could possibly be a deal-breaker when the rest is that good?
"If we sign it, they'd be able to force the band to undergo cosmetic dentistry."
"Oh." Her stomach drops. She wants to look away from the boy she's described as having the perfect smile. Alex and Reggie are basically right there with him. She forces her hands to stay put, but they scream to cover her mouth, her face. Her eyes drift down and stop on his Adam's apple. This is about her.
One of his hands gently cups the side of her face, tilting it so she is looking up at him again. His eyes are sad.
She can't stand it. She can feel tears welling in her eyes "I- I could do it."
He's shaking his head vehemently before she can finish. "No, Jules! You are perfect and beautiful just as you are. If they can't see it, then they aren't the label for us."
"But-"
His other hand moves up to cup her face in his hands.
"Be who you are, don't compromise, julie. Fuck them."
Julie is overwhelmed in that moment. Tears break free of her lashes, but a laugh rings out as she pulls his face to hers.
His lips ground her and she cant believe how lucky she is to have such a supportive boyfriend. She pulls back and remembers the others immediate refusal to sign as well. She couldn't ask for a better band and family. She thanks her mom for the millionth time for bring them to her.
She sniffles from the tears but a smile is back on her face as she teases him. "Did you quote our own song at me just now? What a dork."
He's grinning back. "Well, the gal who wrote that line is pretty smart."
He pulls her to the passenger door "let's go home"
#idk#lol#me with 2000s fob fic 'i will never write text fic again'#the very next thing i write has a bunch of texts#i mean#i know its not a fully fleshed out fic or anything but still#joolee's crack-like thoughts#joolee attempts writing#jatp#julie and the phantoms#juke#jukebox#julie molina pov#also fun fact#i get these ideas for a fic#and its as i'm writing them that i'm like#OH LOOK I CAN TIE IN THIS CANON BIT HERE#and it's all very serendipitous#i wish i could say i'm clever from the get go but it's all subsequent#a verry merry un-juke day to you

suggestion do you have... any wants? like obviously you do but like? suggestion my guy my ourple boy. both the easiest and hardest to write. you need a skill to say something to move conversation along but it doesn't fit any skill in particular? about 80% of the time you can have suggestion say it and it will make sense. but like actually characterizing him... how do i define you dude... what makes your character tick... urgh. i dont get you yet. im trying to understand but you are difficult.
#chemi chats#there are some skills that i just dont understand yet and that just means i have to work on their character study chapter#im reading his bio and i think suggestion is a good manipulator and it's instinctive and he tries not to feel bad about it?#he's clever!! charming!! friends with savvy and drama. planting seeds in the mind and coaxing them to grow towards him like he's the sun.#a crude oil reservoir lying beneath a carefully laid flower bed. taps into the roots. the plants don't know any better than to drink.#he's great at sensing what makes people tick and uses that to his advantage. he needs goals to look forward to so he knows how to best#pull the strings to get them there. otherwise he's a bit aimless. he likes being useful. and since influencing others is helpful#he just keeps doing it? because it's what he's good at. and he tries to convince himself its fun and cool and just cuz hes charming and#it's his role as a skill and manipulation isnt thaaaat bad because it's helpful to them after all... but he does feel bad sometimes.#oh im listening to his voice lines and i just got to ''brother you should have put me in front of a firing squad'' and im sad about him now#but what do you want for short term little guy?? probably for people to like him. he likes chatting with people. i bet he'd like genuine#conversations with no strings attached but there's always some part of him filing information and tidbits away that he can't turn off#subconsciously figuring out things he can hold over them or how he can nudge them into thinking someth-/wait.../ no. no he's just talking.#he's /supposed/ to just be talking stop analyzing them stop falling back into that just have a normal conversation!! but he can't help it..#hm. this is all really helpful for his chapter. he and empathy are very alike but also different. very interesting...#task: swept up#okay good talk everyone i think i understand him a little better now lmao?? still gotta figure him out some more hes not fully there but ye#also i think he goes by whatever pronoun you think he'd use. just ''oh what do /you/ think i am hm?? what /would/ i use; do you think?? :)'#funny fella. i love you.

what is it about becoming an academic that makes you like bad poetry
#julia.txt#NUANCE : a generalization ofc#and VERY subjective To Me and what poetry i Like#i just like being dramatic#but for reals#i think that uni professors and academics are more likely to assign poems that are interesting because of Their Structure#rather than like. it Hits You. you know#way more likely to talk about oh isnt this structure clever see this reference here see this there#rather than. The Contents? if that makes sense#analyse de fond vs analyse de forme <- forgor the terms in english#AND IDK. my friend shows me the poems she gets assigned#and they all just feel. Empty to me. again very subjective but#sure the structure is interesting but is it Saying Anything. is it Actuslly anything beyond havimg this number of syllables in each third#line#idk man ā¤ļø peace and love on planet earth forever#more nuance: if you're learning about poetry in an academic setting it makes sense that theres emphasis on structure#and the self referential world surrounding poetry#but im sure theres poems that have those aspects without being bad ā¤ļø (to me. again)
